Kristýna Jelínková is a journalist at Czech magazine Respect since 2025. She started her career in journalism during her studies. Although she graduated in Territorial Studies from the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University and feels a close connection to foreign affairs, her professional focus is primarily on domestic politics. She first entered the Chamber of Deputies at the beginning of 2021, at that time as a reporter for TV Seznam. For nearly three years, she followed the action on the political scene as part of the editorial team for Czech Television’s flagship news program Události (News).
